The FAVI SmartStick is an Android PC-on-a-stick with a 1GHz ARM processor and 1GB of RAM. It comes with 4 or 8GB of storage and packed with a dinky remote control - which works out around £30 at today's rates - but it's one of a handful of such sticks that have been springing into the market over the past few months and serve to demonstrate just how good they can be.
